Telephone JJY

The JJY is the radio station which transmits the JST (Japan Standard Time) in long wave radio. The station JJY is operated by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology. An operating announcement and some information are available from http://www.nict.go.jp/ (English and Japanese) and http://jjy.nict.go.jp/ (English and Japanese)

The user is expected to provide a symbolic link to an available serial port device. This is typically performed by a command such as;

ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/jjy0

Using an RS-232C to USB converter cable, the clock or a modem can be connected to a USB port instead of a serial port. In this case, the typical symbolic link command is as follows;

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/jjy0

Windows NT does not support symbolic links to device files. COMX: is the unit used by the driver, based on the refclock unit number, where unit 1 corresponds to COM1: and unit 3 corresponds to COM3:
